Hey guys,

I’ve recently started a new role and I’ve noticed that the guy before me has configured his guest WiFi to use the internal DNS for name resolution....traditionally, the approach I’ve always taken is to direct all guest access off the LAN and to use the DNS of our ISP.  Surely this is a security risk? The guys here say it was done to control/manipulate and secure DNS - but I’m not seeing their point.  Can anyone shed some light?

Cheers

Does anyone knows about this service? It seems that server working fine. Thank you!

Dear Experts,

I have two FreePBX virtual machines distributed over two different data centers but both are for the same company, I am planning to use sip trunk on those two VMs and seeking to get them to work in failover/load balance mode.

I know that some sip trunk provider provide the capabilities of failover in case my primary Public IP is not responsive however I would like to extend the failover and load balance to the level of the VM as well.

Have anyone tried to do the load balance/failover method on a VM level between two datacenters ? How would VoIP traffic react in case of primary VM down? how about end points configuration ? Can I direct end points to a single FQDN where both IPs can resolve and if one of the VMs are down still the end point would get register and act like nothing is happening ?

I would appreciate any person's comment that have had an experience with such scenario.

Thank you

Hi,

I have been searching for a matrix listing the security advantages and disadvantages of wi-fi vs Bluetooth vs cellular vs ethernet.  I searched for a specific technology I mostly find publications talking about the general connectivity differences using the technologies but nothing side by side like a matrix that includes all three measured against the same baseline. I tried using two different articles and list the information in a spreadsheet but the categories and the baselines used were not the same - problem. Do you know of any resource that may have this information in a matrix view that I can review.  

Thanks

I HAVE A HAEMTALOGY ANALYZER WITH RJ45 PORT. I NEED TO RECEIVE DATA FROM THAT MACHINE TO MY VB.NET PROGRAM. KINDLY SHARE THE CODE FOR THE SAME SO THAT I CAN GET THE DATA AND RESTRUCTURE THE SAME AS PER MY REQUIREMENT.

Dear Experts, I have a question related to telephony service. We are using IP PBX Grandstream UCM6510 with SIP trunking from The Provider.

So as my understanding, for example if our number is +AA 710xxxxx; I create a conference room in UCM6510 at ext 8888; then when customers want to join a conference room with us, they will call to +AA 710xxxxx, press 8888. Am I right? (AA is my country code)

But the Boss now have some customers in USA, UK,... and he wants his customers will call to USA, UK numbers, (for example: +1xxxxxxxxx; +44yyyyyyyy) respectively instead of our number (+AA 710xxxxx)  to join our conference room.

Is this feasible? Can you please suggest the solution? Many thanks!

Hi All,

We currently have an issue with a new build at a remote site.

The overall voice network is fully working at other locations, however the new site is having issues with inbound calls from the PSTN. The phones at both ends (internal and external) will ring, however no audio is passed. The call remains open, but silent.

Calls work outbound from the site successfully. The CUCM/Cube are on the main site, where calls work fine. The remote site is connected to the main network over a site to site VPN.

The only difference between this and other sites is the allocated IP range. The Cisco phones on the remote site are all using public IP addresses, where the main network and other remote sites are utilising private address space.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly recieved.

Many Thanks,

John

NEC SL2100 phone system started behaving poorly a week ago Sunday.  Rebooted all network equipment, and nothing changed.  Reboot the phone system and everything worked for about 20 minutes.  Same cycle of events, about same time frame.  Next checked all network equipment for firmware upgrades.  Wireless bridge Engenius EnStationAC went from 2.x to 3.1.2.11 on both sides successfully.  Problem returned yet again, but now a delay in getting dial tone of about 3-10 seconds.  If phone hangs up and connects immediately, no delay happens.  A monitoring computer is the only non-phone device on the entire voice network.  It shows random packet loss to phones.  The phone problem was originally they begain restarting at random.  They are not all happening at one time.  The delay never happens to VOIP phone on the system side of wireless bridge.  Engenius has yet to comment on the issue.  One phone (Only one phone) peforms IGMP actions accoring to Wire Shark.  Removing that specific phone solved the problem for almost 2 hours.  Yet it eventually returned.  All the time I have brought another laptop in for testing and moving it to both sides of the bridge.  If I am on the system side, I perform ping tests to the phones on the far side of bridge.  If I am testing the phone system resources, I am on the opposite side of bridge.  I perform around 1,500 packets to 3 devices simultaneously each time I test.  No latency or packet loss ever.  I have introduced a new PoE switch on the system …

I have a data jack that is terminated; but, not properly labelled.  I am trying to use a tone generator to find the correct patch panel connection that I need to use and cross connect the ethernet correctly to the end point.

The problem is that this specific data jack is in a machine shop floor and when I activate the toner every patch panel connection is triggered in the room.  If I turn off the toner generator every patch panel is still sounding off in that room.

If I try the toner generator in different locations(other rooms) there is no problem.  The toner generator works as I expect it to.

What could be causing the toner tester to sound off in that 1 specific patch panel?  Could it be that the ethernet cables were not grounded correctly?

Line is not releasing after transfer the call form Avaya SIP extension which is registered with Alcatel PABX

In Skype for Business Server 2015, Is there a way to disable clients from retrieving location information from the LIS/Secondary LIS every time the client registers with the server? I want to prevent the client from performing a HELD request to get location information when it first registers to the server. Is this possible with the on-prem server?

Ok, this is the last part to getting our site paging worked out.
I need to know how I can get our ShoreTel phones speakerphones to work with Valcom speakers when a page is sent out.
We have a ShoreTel system 14.2 director and Valcom v-2003A paging controller.  We need our system to page all phones and all Valcom speakers at the same time.
Can this be accomplished?
If this scenario cannot be accomplished with our current equipment then what would I need to replace/upgrade?

Hi all, we need to have call recording for our VOIP system, does any know of a 3rd party vendor who offers this? Our current vendor and we are not switching anytime soon.
